Like who? I haven't heard of a one, and there was no indication of such interest at shot. Seems like wild speculation to me. With the Rhino's sales, I don't think we'll see a copycat.
As for semi-autos, there's a limiting factor you just can't get around; the slide has to come back. I suppose if one opted for the awkward, clunky, unreliable toggle mechanism of Luger or Borchardt type designs, but the list of drawbacks would be a mile long, far outstripping any gains made with the "extra low bore axis"
Have you ever fired a gun that had a brake with rearward angled ports? I'm guessing not, since you think it's a good idea.
Of course, but they do not work.
The gas has very little time in which to be directed back for any thrust as the bullet is screaming by.
If you note, I said that such an active recoil system would use nozzles, which excellerate the flow and produce more thrust, and fed by a gas tube right after the chamber giving it a much longer time in which to work.
Ports are simply holes.
